A California man blames his motorcycle seat for a painful erection he said lasted nearly two years.

Henry Wolf, 52, is now suing BMW of North America, the motorcycle&#8217;s manufacturer, and Corbin-Pacific, the maker of the seat, for lost wages, medical expenses and emotional distress.

According to his attorney, Vernon Bradley, Wolf took a four-hour ride &#8211; two hours each way &#8211; on his 1993 motorcycle on May 1, 2010. After the trip, he developed priapism, a prolonged, unwanted, persistent and painful erection of the penis that for Wolf has lasted 24 hours a day since the ride.

&#8220;It&#8217;s very embarrassing, and all kind of problems developed,&#8221; Bradley told ABC News. &#8220;He had to reconfigure his clothing, and going to the bathroom was a problem.&#8221;

Wolf consulted a number of physicians, who told him the condition was the result of both the configuration of the seat and the long motorcycle ride.

Bradley plans to serve the lawsuits this week, and the companies have 30 days to respond. He is seeking an unspecified amount of damages.
